Work Simplification Training
Course Overview
Simplicity is the quality of being simple. It helps reduce complications and increases the clarity and quality of outcome. When applied to systems, it helps increase efficiency and clarity, thereby leading to success and development in any aspect of work.
What does simplification of work processes and procedures entail? Process simplification involves minimisation of activities while being effective, efficient, productive and delivering value.
The simplification process starts with evaluation, to goal definition, to testing to communication. A simple process is one that is relevant, easily found, easily replicable and efficient.
Simple processes help provide clarity about important tasks to be prioritised, increase efficiency, improve communication and accountability among stakeholders, etc. Simplicity helps immensely in change management, a challenge faced by most growing organisations.
